About this property

Manor Cottage – Beautiful Cotswold Retreat with Field Views

Manor Cottage is a beautifully renovated period cottage in the quiet and picturesque village of Black Bourton, ideally located between Bampton and Clanfield. Fully refurbished in 2025, the cottage combines historic character with modern comfort, making it a perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds and Oxfordshire countryside. The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests in four spacious bedrooms. Upstairs, there are two en-suite bedrooms, one double bedroom, one twin bedroom and a large family bathroom. Downstairs features a large, well-equipped kitchen with dining and seating area, a separate sitting room with woodburning stove, a utility room and a cloakroom. Outside, guests can enjoy a private lawned garden with uninterrupted countryside views, ideal for relaxing or outdoor dining. The property includes off-road parking, a two-bay garage and a fast electric vehicle charging point. Set within a wonderfully well-connected corner of the Cotswolds, Black Bourton places you within easy reach of a rich mix of villages, towns and days out, making it easy to shape each day as it comes. Nearby Clanfield, Bampton, Southrop, Burford, Witney and Kingham invite gentle wandering, from familiar filming locations and independent shops to riverside strolls and classic Cotswold streetscapes, while further afield Oxford unfolds in dreaming spires and historic colleges, Cheltenham brings Regency elegance and cultural flair, and Bicester tempts with designer shopping at Bicester Village. Food lovers are especially well catered for, whether easing into the day at Blakes Café & Deli or Lynwood Café, settling into the welcoming atmosphere of The Double Red Duke, The Mason’s Arms, The Bell, The Five Alls, The Rose & Crown or The Plough, or heading out for destination dining at The Swan, Thyme, The Farmer’s Dog, The Bull in Charlbury, The Bull in Burford, The Wild Rabbit or The Highway Inn, where menus celebrate local produce in memorable settings. Farm shops and garden centres add to the pleasure of exploring, from plants and coffee at Bampton Plants to the award-winning food halls and café at Burford Garden Company, the lively atmosphere of Millets Farm, the seasonal abundance of Daylesford, and the curiosity drawing crowds to Diddly Squat Farm. Days out are just as varied, with Bampton offering a glimpse into television history, wildlife encounters at Cotswold Wildlife Park, sweeping parkland and grandeur at Blenheim Palace, panoramic views from White Horse Hill, honey coloured streets in Woodstock, riverside calm in Lechlade, market town charm in Witney and Burford, cultural depth in Oxford and Cheltenham, contemporary waterside living at The Lakes by Yoo, and indulgent shopping experiences at Bicester Village, all combining to create a stay filled with countryside, culture and cuisine. Manor Cottage offers peaceful rural surroundings while remaining close to excellent pubs, cafés and attractions.

Situated on the North Downs Way amidst glorious Surrey countryside, the charming village of Caterham offers a good number of shops, pubs, restaurants, and cafés, including Casa Lola, The Kerala, Bua Thai, and Whyeleafe Grill & Bar, whilst providing a broad range of leisure facilities, such as a charming local theatre, Caterham & District Local History Centre, East Surrey Museum, and a great leisure centre. The surrounding countryside boasts a wealth of footpaths and bridleways just waiting to be explored, or alternatively visitors can take some time to enjoy some of the many surrounding towns and villages available throughout this lovely area.
